The 100 Most Shocking Moments in Rock 'N' Roll History was a VH1 special that aired in 2001, hosted by Mark McGrath. It featured a countdown of the most controversial, scandalous, and surprising events in rock music history up to that time. The program became part of VH1's The Greatest series, where lists such as "100 Greatest Artists of Rock & Roll" and "100 Greatest Songs of Rock 'N' Roll" were popular.

This particular countdown focused on events that had a significant impact on rock culture, including personal scandals, band breakups, controversial performances, and tragic deaths. Some moments featured in the countdown involved famous incidents like the deaths of artists, shocking performances, or groundbreaking controversies that changed the landscape of rock and roll. VH1 later updated this concept with a similar series, 100 Most Shocking Music Moments, aired in 2009.
